[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 426614, member: 20956"] Ah I only have a very basic grasp of bits of Italian ;) Guess you have a point there, but the same logic does apply to you always going on about how much you don'et like the game! Anyways, played a few games on it, and quite frankly it just feels completely different from 06/08, can definitely see where the TRF guys at the playtest were coming from when they said that. I lost the first half I played 10 - 6, mostly because I tried to play it like I do 06/08. One of the tactics I use quite a lot in the earlier games is I send a winger free down the blindside and then cut back inside to pass down the backline to score with someone on the opposite wing. Could not do this in the game, as despite what people say, the bunching was no-where near as bad. Wasn't perfect at all, but the only time I noticed it was when my mate pointed it out to me. Was quite impressed by the AI too, even if it was on easy. Found it harder to break down the defence than in 06/08, and SA scored a cracking try with Fourie after a nicked line out, couple of rumbles by the forwards then a lovely dummy for Fourie to go under the posts. Haven't tried the dummies or chip kick yet, about to try and use them now. Haven't used the set plays at all yet, mostly because I never used to use them in 06/08. All in all, enjoyed the game a lot, not perfect, could've been improved in a lot of ways, but this was gonna be the decider for me for whether I'd pre-order or not: hell yes I am :D about to do so now!
